Good Pheasant recipes???

[2hats]

Buddy of mine gave me some birds from his hunt out west.What are some good recipes to use??

[Mike Vines]

High mountain jerky mix.  It was the best tasing jerky I have ever ate.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Breast them out, cut into strips like chicken strips, dip in egg wash, roll in seasoned flour and fry in a large skillet until golden brown. I like marinara, ranch, and bbq dipping sauce.
Some home made french fries are also quite a compliment to the feast.

SEMO_HUNTER is right very good. Also keep the wings, thighs and legs for soup and stew.

smoke em!!!

Brine them for 6-8 hrs...

-2 gallons water
-2 cups kosher or sea salt
-1 cup brown sugar

bring to boil and throw in salt and sugar... stir till it disolves...

I throw in my seasonings--- after it cools you can throw in soy sauce, terriyaki, or worchestschire sauce if you like...

season as you like again or let rest for up to 12 hours in fridge...

then fire up the smoker!!!!


this works for fish or fowl...

Cut the breast and thighs into 3 inch strips and marinate overnight in Olive Garden Italian dressing. Wrap bacon around the strips and secure with a round toothpick.Drop them back in the marinade, then throw them on the grill. Turn as needed and when the bacon is done baste with the dressing again as you take them up. You won't be disappointed! This is the best way I've found and I like pheasant about anyway it can be prepared.

Mine is similar to semo's recipe, debone the meat. warning the legs have bone like tendensin them. if you use the legs then you can fillet the tendens out. dip in egg and milk wash roll in flour and fry. I like to use one stick of butter in a skillet, but you can use what ever oil or grease you prefer.

I also roast them like a turkey on a bed of dressing but you have to baste it regularly or it will dry out.

on the grill is good like bar-b-que'd chicken or marinaded and put on in a shiscabob.

Good luck

Just got done making the last birds my dog will get. She is 11.5, anyway SEMO is right but try bread crumbs. Plain or italian and add some instant pancake mix 1/4 cup or so, this is also great to prepare fish. I think I will eat the walleye I cought ice fishing last night.

If you got them with the spurs on, divide them up by whether they are young or old.  I use moist, low heat (oven bag, soaked clay pot, braises and stews) for the latter.  An old rooster shot late in the season with no fat on him can be memorable in the wrong way.  Virtually all the birds in Montana this year were older.  I'm still working my way through them.

if your gonna do the fried strips thing, substitute shore lunch fish batter instead of flour.  you can fry any meat in that stuff, and its the best.
